Heart of Steel (1) Iron Ambition
Gavel Loken stood on the battle barge and looked at the familiar starry sky in a daze, although it was not a bad thing for Loken to be ordered to lead six hundred warriors back to the empire, but he still didn't expect that it was now 700. M41, two hundred years have passed since Horus led those loyal warriors away.
Two hundred years may be a long time for mortals, but it is not too long for the Praetorian Army guarding the Golden Throne.
After communicating with Trajan, the commander of the Forbidden Army, he happily sent someone to revise the documents of the Ministry of Government and the Ministry of Military Affairs, but he needed Lorcan and Mars to do business in terms of warships.
So, after paying some bottles and cans from the cyberpunk world, Lorcan managed to get a battle barge, two strike cruisers, and a batch of heavy equipment from a great sage on Mars.
After the rearmament was completed, Loken left the Sun Domain under the banner of the Sword of Retribution, and they would head to the Misty Star Field, where the Eye of Fear was approached and where some of the Chaos Warbands were often active. If you want to gather information related to the Warlord Abaddon, the Hazy Star Field is the best choice.
War commander, who knows where Abaddon dared to inherit this title, in this world, there is basically no good end for the characters with the title of war commander, even if they have extremely dazzling achievements, they end up with a miserable ending.
As Gavill pondered his next move after entering the Obscure Star Field, he was approached by Master Oric Saxton, a fierce and loyal Iron Warrior War Blacksmith who had killed the Lord Commander Idynam, the son of the rebellious Emperor, during the Siege of Terra, and survived in the stasis field until Horus woke him up because Horus had planned ahead of his only lucid moments.
Now serving as the commander of the fourth company and the master of the warband in the Sword of Disciplination, the war blacksmith is one of the key commanders of the warband.
"Our Starwhisperer has received a distress signal, Garwel Warlord." Saxton said in his gruff, hoarse voice, his throat being hurt by the poisonous smoke of the machines that had been damaged in the fierce wars of the past.
"This signal came from a planet that had been conquered by the Iron Warriors during the Great Expedition in the past, and the signal they sent was also used by the Iron Warriors during that time. The signal was that they were being attacked by the Dark Aeldari and could no longer support it. ”
"What do you think, Master Saxton?" Garvel asked.
"We should rush over immediately, this signal may attract the rebellious Iron Warriors, I think the traitors, maybe some old acquaintances." As he spoke, Saxton smiled cruelly.
Garvel nodded and said, "Then you will take the fourth company to the planet that sent out the distress signal, and a hundred Astartes should be enough to deal with all kinds of situations." ”
Saxton was allowed to lead the Fourth Company to the strike cruiser Punisher to the planet, where they were approaching the Misty Field, which was in the Misty Field.
On the planet, the planetary defense force is almost stretched to the limit, and the dark spirit's reaper motorcycle is quickly passing through the dim city, and the star dart weapons loaded on it continue to shoot the defense soldiers guarding everywhere, not only soldiers, but the dark spirit is also plundering and slaughtering civilians, and any captured human will become a slave in Comoros.
The Reaper Motorcycle's rapid movement through the streets, its high mobility and speed made it impossible for the Wehrmacht soldiers to lock on to the Reaper with their naked eyes, and the Star Dart Gun hanging under the Moto could easily kill human soldiers, which was a brutal massacre.
The star dart gun with terrifying cutting ability sliced several Defense Force soldiers into several pieces in an instant, and even the bulletproof armor they wore was cut off.
The dark spirit conspiracy that attacked the planet was eroding their defenses little by little as if they were playing with the human defenders, and deep despair spread in the hearts of the defenders, who could only watch themselves being hanged little by little, like an animal with a python by the neck.
After several days of playful attacks, Planetary Defense Commander Polax had to lead the remaining Defenders to retreat to the Doge's Palace, where the last defensive position must not be lost.
Although Pollax said that he had sent a distress signal calling for the Emperor's Angels of Death, who knew when the angels would come, and perhaps they would be slaughtered by the Dark Elves before the angels could come.
Before the previous lines of defense were breached, the Dark Elves attacked at least at night and hid during the day, but now they no longer hide themselves.
The Reaper Motorcycles brazenly attacked the vicinity of the Doge's Palace, the Cabal fighters pushing toward the defensive line, the poison crystal rifles striking the soldiers' bodies with precision, and the neurotoxin wrenched into the soldiers' bodies with the fragments, causing them to let out a wail of pain.
The Talos Pain Engine swooped straight into the Defenders' position, a razor-sharp broad-bladed scalpel slicing through the abdomen of the two soldiers, and alloy claws pinching down a victim beyond recognition.
The defending guards fought back desperately, but they were powerless against the Cabal fighters, they should have died when the Dark Eldar first attacked, and it was only the Dark Elvericks who were playing with them to survive.
Fear and despair in its purest form are the most delicious tonic for the Dark Spirits, whose souls are constantly being sucked by the Prince of Darkness.
The soldiers of the Defence Force were on the verge of collapse, and every second someone was brutally killed by the Dark Eldars, and fresh flesh spilled on the armor of the Cabal fighters made them laugh.
A Wehrmacht soldier cowered in fear in his bunker and prayed, "The Emperor bless me, the Emperor bless me." ”
Thira, an officer of the Planetary Defense Force who was holding a laser pistol and firing constantly, grabbed him, "Soldier, the emperor will only bless those who fight, now pick up your gun and fight!" ”
"Emperor bless, Emperor bless." The soldiers finally mustered up the courage to say, "For the emperor!" Grabbing the laser rifle, the soldier had just reached out of cover and fired two shots, when a barrage of poison crystals hit him, and the body fell straight behind the cover.
The Doge's palace defenses weren't holding out for long, and now they couldn't hold out anymore for only two weeks since the Dark Eldarns bought the former Governor to destroy the long-range birding array in orbit.
